Mexico Part II: El Pueblo Pequeño

The weekend we arrived in Mexico was a holiday celebrating the Mexican Revolution of 1910. The beach was packed with families soaking up the sun for the 3-day weekend. On Tuesday, the village celebrated with a parade through town featuring children from the local schools. It was a treat! Waves of dancing girls and then children dressed in traditional peasant garb. Adorable. The float was my favorite, Emiliano Zapata fights for the people!

Nina and I joined the fun in our traditional outfits.


When the heat of the day was too much for the beach. Nina spend time running around on the lawn at Palapa Joe's. That is before crashing for her long afternoon nap.


In the early evening, we strolled through town, with many stops to look at any passing dogs of course!

Nina also got to experience traditional Mexican transportation.

We rounded off the day with a sunset cocktail hour.


Yay!!

Bye-bye sun!
